About Lord of the Rings Online

The Lord of the Rings Online™ (LOTRO) is the first massively
multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) set in the world of
J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. LOTRO takes place in a
persistent online world populated with real and computer players that
continue to function even when you turn the game off.

One benefit to playing LOTRO is the large player pool, which
provides many options when players are looking to enjoy the game with
other people. Another great benefit is the frequent updates that Turbine
releases in order to expand and improve the game. However, taking
advantage of this content can be difficult without a proper
understanding of the game functions.

To some players, taking advantage of the massive amount of content
found in LOTRO might seem a daunting task. And so for you, we have
created this page! Here are many resources created by Turbine and its
players that can aid a new user in truly understanding and utilizing all
that LOTRO has to offer.
